The 12th annual Ontario Parks Partners Bursary program recognizes Ontario Parks students who "excel in their jobs by demonstrating a high level of initiative, dedication, volunteerism and customer service."

Forty students recently received $500 educational bursaries for their outstanding performance as Ontario Parks summer employees, including three from Peterborough. They are:

Mackenzie Green – University of Ottawa – Algonquin Park

Naythan Murtha – University of Guelph – Bon Echo Park

Kevin Obbard – University of Waterloo – Algonquin Park

Congratulations to all, and remember that Ontario Parks is the largest employer of students in the Ontario Public Service—hiring more than 1,800 students each summer.
